Colossal Runescape Mod Shut Down Just Hours Before Release

Runelite HD is a mod (made by one individual, 117) that takes Old School RuneScape and gives it a HD makeover.

As far back as 2018, Jagex were giving legitimate dangers against mods like this, guaranteeing they were copyright encroachment. Notwithstanding, those seemed to OSRS Gold have blown over as Jagex gave their approval to the first Runelite.

However recently, only hours before the further developed Runelite HD was expected for an authority discharge, 117 was reached by Jagex, requesting that work stop and that the delivery be dropped. This time, be that as it may, it's not down to copyright claims, but since Jagex says they're making their own HD redesign.

In this blog we'd prefer to explain our position on outsider HD customers (and different tasks which try to profoundly change the visual appearance of the game). We realize you have bunches of inquiries concerning them, and we think this will give you all the clearness we need.

Recently we reached the designers of realized HD activities and we requested them to prevent advancement from their ventures, since this is a task we are straightforwardly examining at Jagex. We anticipate having the option to share progress as our own in-house project with Old School's visuals unfurls.

While that sounds to some degree reasonable from the beginning, there's an immense issue. Runelite HD doesn't really appear to break any of Jagex's modding rules, and the organization says that new rules that explain the reality Runelite HD does really break its rules are being delivered one week from now.

Mod maker 117 says they endeavored to think twice about Jagex, in any event, presenting to eliminate their mod once the organization had completed and delivered their own endeavors, however, "they declined altogether," apparently spelling the end for a task that had devoured, "around more than 2000 hours of work more than two years."
